The SIMATIC Version Cross Manager is a user-friendly tool for 

determining the differences between various versions of individ-

ual projects or multi-projects by: 
• Tracing missing, additional or differing objects by comparing 

hardware configuration, communication, technological hierar-

chy, CFC/SFC plans, SFC details, block types, alarms, global 

variables, signals and run sequences

• Graphic display of comparison results in a combination of tree 

and tabular formats

• Clear hierarchical structuring according to the technological 

hierarchy of the plant

• Color-coded identification of the differences

■

Using the SIMATIC Version Cross Manager you can also ex-

change data with planning tools (CAx data). It supports the fol-

lowing exchange functions:
• Export of CAx-relevant data, e.g. global declarations, techno-

logical hierarchy or measuring points

• Export of files in SIMATIC XML format (SML)
• Import of CAx data present in SIMATIC XML format

Example of an XML export

The SIMATIC Version Cross Manager is a SIMATIC product 

which was developed for the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control 

system but which can also be used together with other SIMATIC 

products in the context of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA). In 

the case of products which can be used in both the SIMATIC 

PCS 7 and TIA environments, the ordering data and type of de-

livery may differ depending on the application. To provide a bet-

ter overview and to avoid faulty ordering, the selection and or-

dering data of such products are therefore listed separately 

depending on the target application.

SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering systems with Engineering Software 

V6.0 or V6.1 can be upgraded to Version 7.0 using the SIMATIC 

PCS 7 Engineering Upgrade Package. This upgrade package 

also includes the upgrade from SIMATIC Version Cross Checker 

V6.0/V6.1 to SIMATIC Version Cross Manager V7.0.
For applications outside SIMATIC PCS 7, a separate SIMATIC 

Upgrade Version Cross Manager V7.0 can be obtained for up-

grading the SIMATIC Version Cross Checkers V6.0/V6.1.
For further information, see Chapter "Update/upgrade pack-

ages".
